Illustrated by
Hideko Takahashi.
Roemer invites young guests to celebrate the seasons in this excellent introduction to concrete poetry. Most of the poems depend on the background art to complete the concrete picture suggested by the arrangement of words. Far from intrusive, these illustrations provide images that will help youngsters to better understand the poem shapes.
